Default SLIP-ON INFO

OK - I have been told that if I add slip-ons that are made for 1200 that no rejetting or any other adjustments need to be made. So is this what everyone here says too?

If you're puttin' them on a sportster, that's right...
If you ride a Big Twin, you will probably have to make a couple of adjustments...

I have a 06 1200 ,carb, i put V&H slip onsand drilled two 2 1/4 " holes in the backing plate on my air filter, and my bike runs perfect, no farts or anything, seemes my bike was "rich" from the factory.I think each bike is different,so just be prepared, you may have torejet but its not a major task if you do, the bike will sound and run better.
